Ingredients
- Puff pastry sheets
- Pie filling of your choice
- egg wash (one beaten egg)
- Turbinado sugar
- Glaze
Directions
-
Cut your sheet of puff pastry into squares. I cut down the 3 vertical marks that are previously there. I was left with 3 strips. I cut each strip into 3 squares. They are not perfectly square, but that’s o.k! You can make yours larger if you like. Take one of your squares and place 1 tablespoon of filling in the center. Don’t use more than that, or you will have a mess.
-
Lay your cherry blossoms on a parchment lined baking sheet.
-
If you don’t have parchment paper, grease your pan lightly.
-
Bake at 375 degrees until very golden.
-
15 to 20 minutes.
-
Don’t worry if a bit of your filling runs out.
-
You can take a knife and push it right back in.
-
Prepare the glaze while the blossoms are baking . . .
-
Make the glaze the consistency you like
-
Once the blossoms have finished baking, glaze them while still warm.
